Row as Belfast City Council secure court order to stop further collection of wood on four bonfire sites

Row as Belfast City Council secure court order to stop further collection of wood on four bonfire sites.

Belfast City Council has secured a court order banning loyalists from directing, building, organising and or constructing bonfires on four sites in Belfast. The sites are Ravenscroft Avenue Car Park, Bloomfield Walkway, Avoniel Leisure Centre car park, Inverary Playing Fields and Cregagh Park East. No-one is allowed to collect any further wood, nor is anyone allowed to organise a bonfire on these sites without the council's permission. So is this finally law and order being imposed on loyalists - or is this action an affront to unionist culture? The Alliance Party is claiming all the unionist parties have supported this ban. But today, the DUP, UUP, and PUP are remaining silent as to why - if indeed they did - support this ban. Stephen spoke to Jamie Bryson, Sinn Fein councillor Jim McVeigh, Alliance MLA Chris Lyttle, SDLP Cllr Tim Attwood and we took your calls.
